certainly a large part of Mercedes success is also of Toto Wolf (as Niky Lauda also helped a lot to manage the drivers, at the time of Nico Rosberg), but if he has 33% of the company, we are talking about hundreds of millions of dollars, I thought was a simple manager. Now, however, it is important for them to renew Hamilton's contract as well, but maybe 3 years of renewal are too many for me and they will only do 2

Atalanta today literally humiliated Roma, after having conceded a goal, they scored 4 in 25 minutes, with Fonseca's team walking on the pitch instead of running in the second half, as he also admitted in interviews. Napoli, on the other hand, without Insigne and Mertens played very badly, making it easy for Lazio to play

Today in Sassuolo v Milan, Leao scored the fastest goal in the history of Italian Serie A. It took only 6 seconds from kick-off to goal, beating the previous record of 8 seconds which lasted since 2001. They say they have tried this pattern in training for months and were just waiting for the right opponent to put it into practice

Honestly Barcelona has always depended on messi . I mean sure sometimes they were good even without him, rarely but it did happened back in the day, and he doesn't miss that much games neither, but this team saw periods where they had players like henry, eto, neymar and so forth from outside and players like iniesta and xavi most famously and a lot others as in house raised, but right now they really do not have too much, they have been not so great for a while now, specially last year as well. However lets not overreact and act like Barcelona is relegating out of the league, they are still one of the best teams in the league and already a top 5 team in rankings as well, I am sure messi will figure something out with the team, and if not team will move to become better without messi by spending some money and getting some good young players up from youth teams. certainly barcelona depends a lot on Messi, but we must consider one thing, the defense of barcelona has become very bad, in 12 games it has conceded 14 goals, among the top 6 teams in the table it is the one that has conceded the most goals. If we think that Atletico Madrid have conceded only 5 goals, then the problem is not Messi because Barcelona scored 25 goals.

A small info for who love numbers.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored 2 goal and he is now at 758 all time scored goal, very close to Romario (around 10 more goals) for the third spot.
But not only this, Cristiano Ronaldo so far this solar year, from January to now scored 33 goals and now is he equaling Scirea in the all time Serie A goal in a solar year, we have 1 game left but this can be another step in his legend.
when ronaldo arrived in italy, i was sure he would not score more than 15 goals per season, because the spanish league is very different from the italian one and i was sure that ronaldo would never integrate into our league, instead he scored over 30 goals per season with Juventus. I would also like to see Messi in Italy (who for me is superior to Ronaldo when he is in his best form) maybe at Milan or Napoli.

In the last 4 games Juventus improved a lot, if this is the real Juventus well there is nothing they can do to stop us. Finally the hand of Pirlo has started, good pressing, good offence. This is the right path. Parma destroyed 0-4. Parma is not a difficult opponent to beat, they have conceded many goals, it was normal for Juventus to win today, even with a heavy result like the 4-0. Juventus must prove to be capable of winning with strong teams, in the last 4 games they have drawn with Atalanta and Benevento. in January he will have to play against Milan and Inter, there we will see if Pirlo has done a good job

Toto Wolff has finally renewed the contract with Mercedes for another 3 years and Ineos has moved from the role of sponsor to the role of shareholder, now Mercedes F1 has 3 shareholders with equal shares, 33.3%, i.e. Toto Wolf, Ineos and Daimler. I didn't know Wolf was so rich that he even had 1/3 of the Mercedes F1

the problem of Papu gomez is very simple, he wants to leave atalanta and probably go to Juventus. It is a very common thing, already done by Bernardeschi and Chiesa when they played at Fiorentina. It's normal, even playing well, Atalanta will never win a title and Gomez wants to win something. the same will happen with Immobile and Belotti

I hope they will fix this problem soon by buying a new center-back next transfer season
I agree if Milan has a problem in the defense line, especially in CB (center-back). They look rather weak in defense and attacking line as well. Not only missing strong defenders, Milan also too much depends on Ibra. So, when Ibra gets injured, they have no other option for a strong striker (CF). Besides need a strong CB, Milan also needs to buy a strong CF in the next transfer window. I've been saying the same thing for months, Milan have to buy a new player in January. Ibra is injured again and it is not known how long he will be able to return to play, for this we need another quality striker. I don't think Milan can win the Serie A championship, but surely with a new player they can place themselves in the top 4 and go to the Champions League next year

it was the only right decision, it would have been a scandal to see Perez out of Formula 1 after perhaps his best season. Next year there will be fun, because Perez and Verstappen together can put pressure on Hamilton, it would be enough for Red Bull to be a little faster and we will see some good races.

I'm happy for Roma because if they continue like this they can think of winning the Italian title, but Torino is in a desperate situation, they have won only one game out of 12 played, they have the worst defense in Serie A with 30 goals conceded. if he doesn't buy some good players in defense, I think it's very easy to go to Serie B

today I saw the video message that Mclaren sent to Ferrari asking him to take care of Carlo Sainz. I have rarely seen such a beautiful and touching message, mechanics, engineers and even Lando Norris, speaking in Italian, wishing the best to their former driver. these are the things that bring the public closer to Formula 1

It's now official. Yuki Tsunoda will drive next year in the F1 for AlphaTauri.
Now let's wait till the official statement of Red Bull about Perez. I have read a lot of that it will be an announcement today/tomorrow.
unfortunately I don't think it's that easy, Perez is definitely deserves to drive Red Bull next year, but signing him would mean admitting that the Red Bull youth program works badly, given that both Albon and Kvjat came from the youth program and take them out of the formula 1 would be half failure. Meanwhile Hamilton has not signed with Mercedes yet, you never know ...

Milan today lost a good opportunity, drawing against the genoa, in the second consecutive draw, a shame because they could take advantage of Juventus' draw. I have just finished watching inter-Napoli, a real shame for Napoli, first Mertens' injury, then the red card and the penalty against, certainly did not deserve to lose

today at the same time as the test day, sky sport interviewed Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, the man who won everything with Todt and Schumacher's Ferrari. Montezemolo said he was ready to take command of Ferrari again as president, but that to date no one has contacted him to find out if he was interested. Ferrari needs a strong president who understands racing. Montezemolo could be the right person, but it should be remembered that in the days of the triumphs with Schumacher, Ferrari spent tens of millions on private tests, while today it is forbidden.

it is normal that Lazio has only drew with Benevento, last year's championship has already been a miracle as a result, during the transfer market phase it has not made any purchases, obviously it cannot repeat the same results. Atalanta will also go downhill after a while, this kind of presidents are made like this, after a good year, they don't spend a cent anymore and expect the same results.

I don't know if you heard Vettel's radio team at the end of the race, to say goodbye to Ferrari, it was something wonderful, done with the heart. Sebastian edited the lyrics of a famous Italian song "Azzurro", singing it in Italian and thanking everyone for these years together and wishing him the best for the future. In the many years that I have followed Formula 1, I have never felt anything so human

very boring race today, practically they arrived in the same order they started, no overtaking and no fights. Hamilton, I think, was still affected by the symptoms of covid, because he seemed very dull, he never attacked Bottas. I'm sorry for Vettel, last race in Ferrari, also this time out of the points, but Ferrari today was bad, we also saw it with Leclerc
